Lots of good info for any new parent. I spread this out for the chapters to coincide with my daughter’s development throughout her first year

I read this book over the first year of my baby’s life. This is my second child so I knew a lot if it but it was good to have a reminder of some stuff. I would take some of the milestones with a pinch of salt. There were some good play ideas.

Plenty of good stuff in here, but also several outdated things (i.e. wait one year to give child common allergens like peanut butter)

I wish I read this sooner. This book skips the theories and prologue on the writers life and just gets to the point. It is comprehensive yet easy to read and pretty much has information from lots of different books in one book without all the fluff.
